According to new data, the U.S. currently ranks first in total COVID-19 cases, new cases per day and deaths. Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Hopkins, critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in her webinar titled “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data.” From mid-March to mid-September, U.S. total deaths have reached 1.7 million, of which 200,000, or 12% of total deaths, are COVID-19-related. Instead of looking directly at COVID-19 deaths, Briand focused on total deaths per age group...

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock (D) released an apology after being caught violating his own plea of staying home for this year's Thanksgiving. Thirty minutes after his account tweeted for people to not travel due to COVID-19, he was on a plane to leave Denver. "Pass the potatoes, not COVID. Stay home as much as you can, especially if you're sick. Host virtual gatherings instead of in-person dinners. Avoid travel, if you can," Hancock tweeted before boarding his flight to be with his family. Pass the potatoes, not COVID. ???Stay home as much as you can, especially if you're sick. ??Host...

An expert in Bible codes found a shocking clue that the prophecy of Zechariah that most of the people alive today will perish is due to come about this year. Actually, according to one interpretation of the prophecy, this has already happened. BIBLE CODES: “IN 5781 MOST LIVING THINGS EXTERMINATED” Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an expert in Bible codes, prepared a video using special software to find hidden clues in equidistant letters in the Torah referring to a verse in Zechariah describing the end-of days. Throughout the land —declares Hashem— Two-thirds shall perish, shall die, And one-third of it shall survive....

Kyle Rittenhouse faces two charges of first-degree intentional homicide and a count of attempted homicide. Now the judicial process can begin here. But there are questions that go beyond whether Rittenhouse is guilty of killing two people on Aug. 26, a night of unrest in Downtown Kenosha following the shooting of a black man by a Kenosha police officer. Those questions pertain to the actions, or inaction, by law enforcement officers that night.

The Trump administration is rushing to make a number of federal regulatory changes before President-elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20, ProPublica reported on Wednesday. One of those changes, proposed by the Department of Justice, would allow some federal death-row inmates to be executed by means other than lethal injection. Many states allow for electrocution or a firing squad if lethal injection is not available or if another method is preferred by the prisoner.

Summary below of the main takeaways, VOTE TOTALS, and suggested remedy from the MI lawsuit filed by Sidney Powell yesterday. This suit is MUCH more coherent than the rambling GA suit, thank goodness. Lots of overlap between the two as it relates to Dominion and the alleged Constitutional violations. As with the GA suit, converting the document to searchable PDF screwed up a bunch of formatting, particularly creating tonsofsentenceswithnospacesbetweenwords. Also worth reviewing with respect to MI election fraud is the Great Lakes Justice Center complaint against Wayne County filed 11/8/20: https://www.greatlakesjc.org/cases/costantino_v_detroit/ Against MI election code, election challengers were deprived of...

According to Carhart’s website, the banned procedures are being done at his facility on babies at 14 to 22 weeks of gestation. BELLEVUE, Nebraska, November 26, 2020 (Operation Rescue) — A new Nebraska state law that bans a risky, yet common procedure used to abort babies in the second trimester has gone into effect without legal challenge, but the one abortionist who the law would most affect is denying he uses the procedure — a denial Operation Rescue believes to be patently false. The new law, known as Legislative Bill 814, bans the use of an abortion process known as...

The former U.S. president said people were ‘surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump.’ November 25, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Former U.S. President Barack Obama said this morning in a New York City radio interview that “a lot of … evangelical Hispanics” voted for Trump because they agree with his views against abortion, despite the fact, according to Obama, that Trump says “racist things.” The interview happened during The Breakfast Club morning show on 105.1 FM as a promotion for a new book by Obama, with relevant clips tweeted by The Recount. Mr. Obama stated, “People were...

Freedom is still the reason to come to America and the reason to stay. It’s still something to be thankful for and something to fight for.Four centuries ago, the Pilgrims of the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. They were fleeing religious persecution in the Old World. This is to say they were seeking freedom in the New World. All these years after the Mayflower’s voyage, the world has changed, but the reason to come to America remains the same: freedom. That’s it. That’s the whole deal. Freedom, and the opportunities that come with it. Think about it. Why else would...

Alex Trebek left a Thanksgiving message behind ... a message of faith and hope as he valiantly fought his battle with cancer. As we reported, Alex filmed his show almost to the end -- he was hosting "Jeopardy!" just 10 days before he died, and one of his final acts was to record a message that will air on Thanksgiving day. The folks at "Jeopardy!" are eternally grateful ... the show's twitter page has a new post which reads, "High on our list of things to be thankful for this year: Alex's Thanksgiving message from today's show." Alex, whose voice...

For years I was the lone pro-Trump mom in my local Catholic community—MAGA in the tweets, trad in the sheets. In 2016, my friends mostly pined for Marco or Ted and scowled at the prospect of four years with the Big Orange Adulterer. Trad Catholic women are by nature not going to instantly embrace a playboy from the 1980s with a long, sexy history that may or may not include a few wives and some low-budge mistresses.

Revisionist histories are nearly always written (or posted to the internet) with an agenda in mind — it's no different for the Pilgrims and Thanksgiving.Four hundred years after the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts in November 1620, this Thanksgiving promises to be the most isolated celebration in living memory. Thanks to the internet, however, virtual gatherings will be possible. Thanksgiving in the age of the internet also means, for many amateur historians, debunking the many myths surrounding the story of the original Thanksgiving. This project of correcting the Thanksgiving legend has picked up steam in recent years. It is part of...

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency granting a Full Pardon to General Michael T. Flynn. The President has pardoned General Flynn because he should never have been prosecuted. An independent review of General Flynn’s case by the Department of Justice—conducted by respected career professionals—supports this conclusion. In fact, the Department of Justice has firmly concluded that the charges against General Flynn should be dropped. This Full Pardon achieves that objective, finally bringing to an end the relentless, partisan pursuit of an innocent man.General Flynn should not require a pardon. He is an innocent man. Even...

. . . The silence can be considered odd, as the liberal CNN often paints itself as the network of moral superiority, and its parent company, WarnerMedia, prides itself on helping shape communities. “Equity, diversity, inclusion, and corporate social responsibility are moral and business imperatives. A strong organization recognizes that engaging in the fundamental issues of equality and fairness is not only the smart thing to do, but it is also the right thing to do. We see advocacy and inclusion as a key part to our success, and our approach to these critical issues are rooted in how we...

The losses we have experienced from COVID-19 help us understand the Pilgrims. Their courage and faith to give thanks despite hardships can encourage us.How do we know about the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving, and when did we know it? Americans learned for the first time about the Pilgrims from their own writings in 1841 in Alexander Young’s “Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers.” This book published part of the lost writings of William Bradford and a 1621 letter from Edward Winslow.These writings had been published in a 1622 long-lost recruiting pamphlet in England but not in America. Because Winslow’s letter described the 1621...

Lockdowns won’t end until anticipated vaccines “come to our aid” in the future and the country can expect a “hard winter”, the Prime Minister has said, as the government’s science advisor warned it is quite possible the coronavirus will simply mutate to outperform vaccinations. Speaking at the Downing Street press conference hours after the details of the new post-lockdown-lockdown were revealed to the country, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made clear to the nation that there was no reasonable hope of lockdown ending soon, saying merely that there was “reason to hope” that spring would see an end of “this era...
